Product Description
This is a special edition of these popular titles exclusively for World Book Day. There’s something very odd going on in Anna Kelly’s new home – her guardians, Grizz and Wormella Mint, are witches, and they want Anna to help them with their nasty spells! Poor Anna gets stuck in their horrible house, chopping up toadstools and scrambling frogspawn, with no-one but Charlie the cat for company.
She’d much rather be out playing. When she discovers an evil, old spell book in the cellar – can Anna make the magic work for her? An Buachaill Bo Is brea le Conor a chulaith buachalla bo.
‘Yee Haw!’ a deir se. ‘Lamha suas!’ Is i culaith Conor an rud is fearr ar domhan. Ach an mbeidh se abalta i a chaitheamh ar scoil? When Conor’s parents give him a present of a cowboy suit he wants to wear it all the time.
At school Conor is teased for his cowboy outfit, but he doesn’t care. Then the other children in his class think it’s great fun and they want to dress up too. So their teacher decides that all the class may dress up on Fridays. Even Teacher dresses up – as the sheriff! Conor and his cowboy suit started it all! ‘The O’Brien Press World Book Day Flipper Book’ is the only bilingual ‘World Book Day’ book and a great introduction to reading as gaeilge.
